Skyrmion, a concept originally proposed in particle physics half a century ago, can now find
the most fertile field for its applicability, that is, the magnetic skyrmion realized in …

When it comes to “phase measurement” or “quantitative phase imaging”, many people will
automatically connect them with “laser” and “interferometry”. Indeed, conventional …

We demonstrate simultaneous phase and amplitude extraction from a single defocused
image of a homogeneous object. Subject to the assumptions explicitly stated in the …

The well-known transport of intensity equation (TIE) allows the phase of a coherent field to
be retrieved non-interferometrically given positive defined intensity measurements and …

In this review, we introduce digital holographic techniques and recent progress in
multidimensional sensing by using digital holography. Digital holography is an …

The transport-of-intensity equation (TIE) is one of the most well-known approaches for phase
retrieval and quantitative phase imaging. It directly recovers the quantitative phase …

Chirality—that is, left-or right-handedness—is an important concept in a broad range of
scientific areas. In condensed matter, chirality is found not only in molecular or crystal forms …

Using novel interferometric quantitative phase microscopy methods, we demonstrate that the
surface integral of the optical phase associated with live cells is invariant to cell water …

Nontrivial spin orders with magnetic chirality emerge in a particular class of magnetic
materials with structural chirality, which are frequently referred to as chiral magnets. Various …

We develop and compare three different methods of phase retrieval from series of image
measurements obtained at different defocus values. The first approach is an approximate …
